If there is almost zero discussion of the ongoing damage on the nation’s finances, what does this tell much needed world wealth investors - junk status on every dollar.

How far can we kick this can before it kicks us?

In America, the damage caused by Political party institutionalization is perhaps more subtle but no less devastating to the social fabric.

Economic conflicts are self interest fought under banners of some party ideology or deeply held belief.




But given the division and the destructive results, are these political party ideologies and beliefs rational, or mere rationalizations for otherwise unreasonable acts?

How often, in fact, does John Q. Public while funding these adversaries do they stop to think about what we believe as majority dictates those  agendas? 

The major dilemma has a simple English and it is called simplistic thinking - or failure to think responsibly at all.
It isn't just the problem, it is the problem.

Thinking is a process, with a course of direction, a lapse of time, and a series of steps or stages that lead to some result.


Not everyone seeks to achieve the same result under or in God.
In reality, usually neither is done well because politics is either too self-satisfied to 'Examen" their assumptions about thinking or "Too Self-Absorbed to invest the time and energy to do so.


In the Divine Conspiracy Dallas Willard Writes, 'Asking is indeed the great law of the spiritual world through which things are accomplished in cooperation with God and yet in harmony with the freedom and worth of every individual.
Requests anticipate responses.


Willard suggests that even the dog begging at your feet puts you "up against a fundamental force of the universe." Requests have Power to move us.

Some of us have a propensity to say yes because we like to please.

Others immediately say No because we we don't like feeling obligated.

God ask us to ask him for what we need, regardless of our own intuitive responses to requests.

He wants us to know that he's invested in us and concerned about our lives and requests.


The Almighty One wants our prayers. In fact, God will change this world through them.


But it is important to realize that we don't always know what we or others need most.
So 'Listening' in our spirit to God's desire for us and this world is an important part of in - so listening in our spirit to God's desire for us and and this world is an important part of intercession.

God's spirit is always concerned with his Glory and his Kingdom.

And his Spirit can lead us to pray in a different manner the we would pray on our own.

Intercession is one of the ways God invites us into the Heart of the Trinity.

As we keep company though Jesus though intercession, we begin to see the world and the people in it from his perspective and Heart.

Increasingly we long for the same things he longs for.
The Holy Spirit guides are intercessions so they sound more and more like Jesus's own intercessions for this world. "Your Kingdom come; your will be done."

When we intercede, it is important to 'Humbly' trust that the King of all creation can bring in the Kingdom no matter what circumstances look like.


Intercession is not always an easy thing to do.
It can engage us deeply in spiritual battle.

Prayer Warriors know that the point of intercessory prayer is to remain faithful and trusting.

Being involved in intercessory prayer does not necessarily mean you'll feel great strength, power or joy.

The Point is to Pray, Persist and Commit the Battle to The Lord.




At times our trust wavers and we don't know how to pray, can't find words to pray and are too distressed to pray. AT THOSE MOMENTS WE HAVE THE ASSURANCE THAT GOD PREYS. 


The Holy Spirit, who inhabits our being, "Personally" tutors us in praying and even Interprets for us when we are unable to articulate our hearts to God.

The spirit Intercedes with "Groans that words cannot Express" (Romans 8:26)

Furthermore, Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us as well. (Romans 8:34)

WE ARE NEVER LEFT ALONE.

GOD IS WITH US AND PRAYING FOR US.

TO INTERCEDE FOR ANOTHER MEANS THAT IN OUR PRAYER
WE STAND BETWEEN - OR NEXT TO - THEM AND GOD.
